FINAL TEST MATCH VIEWING 🏉 We’re showing the British & Irish Lions final test match against the Wallabies on Saturday 2nd of August live in the clubhouse! It’s going to be a busy day with the FINAL 7s tournament also on See you there! 🏉💛🖤

Saturday saw the final Braintree Rugby 7s Music and Beer Festival take place after going ahead for 15 years headed up by Ruan Holt, who the club have proudly awarded with an honorary lifetime membership for his contributions🖤💛🏉

Ruan, along with the help of his family and friends, decided to set up the tournament in honour of Maff Wadforth & Matthew New to raise money for Blood Cancer UK and ehaat_

Along the way, we sadly lost Simon Fookes, but were fortunate enough that his company, Amazing Tents, kept his wish to supply the event with the incredible tent that has been used every year!

Ruan has kept this event running through tragic loss & circumstance of his own, including the loss of his & wife Sian’s two girls, Sophia-Rose & Alyssia 💔

Most recently the club lost Dave ‘Benny’ Benfield, who was a key part of the event's organisation and running. Ruan made sure that Benny was added to the final event's celebrations with an award in his honour and a fireworks display during the final music set by Pulse.

We would like to thank Ruan for all he has done over the past 15 years, from starting as a mini at the club to dedicating so much of his time and effort.

We are incredibly grateful to you Ruan, and couldn’t think of anyone more fitting than Christy McCann to present you with your Honorary Lifetime Membership! Thank you Ruan ❤️💛🖤
